Grey Gardens Fan

I am such a fan of Big Edie and Little Edie. The Beales. Eccentric mother and daughter team who lived in the rambling, decadent 26-room Hampton estate, Grey Gardens. The Mayles' brother documentary was unheralded in it's honest, unjudgmental view of the strange relationship between mother, Big Edie, and daughter, Little Edie. Aside from all the psychological web of love, abandonment, loss of dreams, clinging to the past, I am in love with the style...the decor of decadent, the clutter, the collections, the dust over family treasures and of course, the fashion of Little Edie. Silk headscarves with mink coats, bathing suits with black tights and white heels, shirts worn as turbans, brooches on the turbans. Wow.
